Thanks for that. That's a more powerful solution than the one I came up with. I
figured I'd also post my own answer (but still have a question).

My dataset covers from day 140 to day 165 of 2001. I create a colour bar (size
365x6), values range from 1 to 365. The sequencer output is fed directly into
the colorbar tick location tab, and into the tick annotation via FormatList. A
caption comprising "Jan  Feb   " sits under the color bar. For each frame, the
tick moves along the colorbar, showing when in the year the frame represents. 

This works fine, but what I can't control is the size of the tick mark, both
length & width, to make it a more noticeable part of the image.

Is there a way to control the size of the ticks?


Thanks...
